Origin of transcripts according to mosquito organ. Distribution of transcript number (n = 16,572) according to the mosquito organ. The area of each circle is roughly a proportional approximation of the number of transcripts. A marked bias towards midgut is noted due to the enormous throughput of Illumina sequencing of a midgut library. Libraries sequenced by Sanger were left out given the low throughput of Sanger sequencing and for simplicity. Thus, not all the 16,669 transcripts are represented.
